=Mini-Mission 2: Wisdom of the Crowd: Next Steps= After analyzing and synthesizing the ideas on your chart, work together as a team to wordsmith 5-10 measurable next steps around implementation of your category

Sustaining Professional Development:

1. Find cost effective options for professional development. Keep costs very low. 2. The Technology Coach will send "cookies" or treats via email. One relevant resource a teacher needs with many; avoids overwhelming, they want what everyone has. These ideas are kept in a common place for later use and reference. 3. Coaches will "drive-by" a classroom to meet with teachers for 5-10 minutes to share one idea or offer additional support. 4. The Coach will stay stationary for one day and allow teachers to pop in and visit with them to ask questions and get help. 5. Offer structured PD sessions titled "workshop" not "training" focusing on student outcomes using administration friendly buzz words also integrating other school initiatives (LFS). 6. Have flexible in-service days using best practice teachers as presenters and teachers and coaches from other districts as presenters. Also, offer collaboration time for teachers to allow for lesson creation.
